Roxid contains the active ingredient Roxithromycin and it is one of several antibiotics that may be used to treat this infection.

Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and non-allergic skin rash.It is an anti-inflammatory, that is normally used to treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

It is rarely used any more, because it has shown evidence of being hepatoxic.
